poetry by j matthew waters

honey hunting and trips to moon and back

they went honey hunting they did
christopher robin and pooh and piglet
and of course tigger too
they flew to the moon and back
their spacecraft refueling on the far side
rocking them back and forth in time
hurtling them toward the old blue jewel
more specifically the hundred acre wood
looking down from the heavens
you can see where they landed
a burst of light microwaving
and expanding through the trees
awakening all creatures
big and small and minuscule
awaiting for what must happen next
